Totomycin (also known as hygromycin A) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus, first described in the 1950s. The bacteria source is similar to that of hygromycin B from which the name of the compound was derived.

History

Hygromycin A was discovered in a soil sample from a forest near Indianapolis, Indiana in 1953 by Waksman and Henrici.^[1] Identification and structure of totomycin wasn't determined until 1957.

Antibiotic activity

The strongest antibiotic activity of totomycin is against Staphylococcus haemolyticus in which growth was inhibited by concentrations of 2 µg/mL. Other gram-positive and gram-negative sensitive to totomycin are inhibited by concentrations from 16 to 31 µg/mL.^[2]

Total synthesis

Totomycin has been a successful target in total synthesis since 1989.^[3]
